5 Suggestions for Installation

General Information

● Group the audio components in a single location to minimize cabling in the cardiovascular room.

● If the audio components are stacked in a stereo cabinet, ensure there is adequate ventilation.

LCS-TX (4 channel)

● Place the LCS transmitter in a well-ventilated area with the front and back easily accessible.

● Place the transmitter antenna eight to twelve feet (8’-12’) from the floor to obtain the best possible transmission range.

● Make sure the antenna is in the vertical position and within line of site to each receiver.

● The range of the LCS transmitter is a line of sight (300-foot diameter) from the transmitter antenna. (i.e., If you’re within 150 ft. and can physically see the antenna, you should have good reception.)

● Place the transmitter and audio equipment in a central location for best transmission coverage of the room.

LCS1 (single channel)

● The LCS1 transmitter may be mounted next to an audio component or TV.● Place the LCS1 transmitter in a well-ventilated area with the front and back easily

accessible.● Make sure the antenna is in the vertical position and within line of site to each

receiver.● The range of the LCS1 transmitter is a line of sight (300-foot diameter) from the

transmitter antenna. (i.e., If you’re within 150 ft. and can physically see the antenna, you should have good reception.)

LCS Receiver

● When attaching LCS Receivers to equipment, take care not to interfere with the normal operation of the equipment. If the LCS Receiver is connected to a Cardio



Theater ready piece of cardiovascular equipment, the connection should not interfere with normal operation

● If attaching the LCS Receiver to a control panel, avoid covering controls or indicators.

● Attach the LCS Receivers securely with the wire ties provided. You should not be able to rotate the receiver when it is properly attached.

10 Receiver Configurations

There are two (2) configurations for attaching the LCS Receivers.Contact the manufacturer of the cardiovascular equipment to determine if the unit is Cardio Theater ready or can be retro-fitted, or call the Cardio Theater Service Center for assistance (800-776-6695). This will determine whether we send power adapters or CSAFE cables for your system.

LCS Receiver with power adapter (wallbug)For cardiovascular equipment that is not Cardio Theater ready, power must be supplied via a power adapter (wallbug) connected to a 120-volt outlet. The power adapter is connected to the LCS Receiver by a telephone connector on the back of the unit.



LCS Receiver powered by cardiovascular equipment (CSAFE)For cardiovascular equipment that is Cardio Theater ready, power will be supplied via a connector located on the cardiovascular equipment. The LCS Receiver is powered from the machine via an adapter cable that plugs into the receiver and into the cardiovascular piece. There are different adapter cables available for most cardiovascular machines on the market. Your sales person will need to know the make and model of each piece of cardiovascular equipment that will be cardio theater ready or retro-fittable (if you plan to retro-fit) at the time of the purchase of the Cardio Theater system.

11 Attaching LCS Receivers

The LCS Receiver can be attached to virtually any piece of equipment.

For equipment with round handles or railing, LCS Receivers are supplied with a built-in mounting block.

● Align the LCS Receiver on the handle or rail as shown.

● Use two of the supplied plastic wire ties to attach



the LCS Receiver to the handle or rail. Pull wire ties firmly to secure and cut off the excess.

This method may be used to mount a LCS Receiver either horizontally or vertically.

This is the preferred method of attaching the LCS Receiver to minimize interference with control panels and displays.

For equipment with flat control panels and no hand rails, Super Lock (a form of super strong Velcro) may be used.

● Determine the best mounting position.

● Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.

● Remove the protective cover from the adhesive strip.

Position the LCS Receiver and press firmly for the adhesive to grip.

CAUTION: When attaching to a control panel, care should be taken to avoid blocking access to controls or illustrations.

Setup

Programming LCS-TX — 4 Channel Transmitter

NOTE: These instructions are for LCS Transmitters with Software version 1.01 and higher. To determine the software version of your transmitter, power the unit on. The group number will display for 2 seconds, and then the software version will display for 2 seconds before the unit enters normal operating mode. If the unit does not display this information, you have a previous version. You should contact the Cardio Theater Service Center for technical assistance (800) 776-6695.

Set to U.S. mode:Press channel down and volume down while powering the unit on — display shows "1776" until released. Then it displays the software version, then enters normal operation showing the group # on the left side of the display and the channel # on the right.

Set to Australian mode (if using in Australia only):Press channel up and volume up while powering the unit on — display shows "1901" until released. Then it displays the software version, then enters normal operation showing the group # on the left side of the display and the channel # on the right.

Setting the Group:Press volume up and volume down while powering the unit on — Display shows "01". Release volume up and volume down buttons. Use the channel select buttons to scroll to the desired group (1-13). Press volume down to lock the group into memory. Display will



show the software version for 2 seconds then returns to normal operation. Repeat for each additional transmitter. Ensure that a different group is selected for each transmitter.

Audio Level Setup:After connecting audio components to the transmitter, turn on the transmitter and all audio equipment (make sure all audio components are playing music and/or tuned to the desired station).

Adjust the volume level at the transmitter so that the LED’s are in the green by pressing the volume up/down button on the transmitter. Occasional yellow is okay, but should never by in the red. Press the channel up/down button on the transmitter and adjust all channels for proper audio level.

NOTE: When adjusting audio levels on televisions with variable audio out (i.e., volume level to Cardio Theater transmitter changes when volume is adjusted), it is best to first set the volume level on the transmitter display to "56". Then adjust the audio level on the television until the transmitter LED’s are in the green. It is important not to let your customers change the volume on the televisions. Poor and/or distorted audio will result.

Then it displays the software version, then enters normal operation showing the group # on the left side of the display and the channel # on the right.

To set the group:Use channel up and down to set the desired group and channel #. The group will be shown on the left side of the display. The channel of that group will be displayed on the right hand side of the display. See the picture on page 6 of the manual.

If you are using the LCS1 in conjunction with existing 4 channel LCS units:Determine the group numbers being used by the existing 4 channel LCS units by cycling power off and on while watching the display. Observe the group number on power up. Do this for each LCS transmitter, noting the groups being used.

Set the LCS1 to channel 1 of any unused group. (i.e., If groups 1, 3 & 4 are currently in use by other transmitters, set the LCS1 to group 2, channel 1 or group 5, channel 1).

If you are installing more than 1 LCS1 transmitter:Whether with existing transmitters or not, always set the first unit to channel 1 of an unused group and the next unit to channel 2 of that same group, etc., until all four channels are used for that group.

Example: First LCS1 set to Group 1, Channel 1,

Second LCS1 set to Group 1, Channel 2



Third LCS1 set to Group 1, Channel 3, etc.
